        New M5 cost.

        Hi Guys and Gals

        A new M5 costs around AUS$200k which equates to around six years salary to the average punter down under. Whats the cost in relation to average salary in your country?

        In Singapore, the M5 cost S$413k for the beast alone.. To use it on our roads, u then need to buy a certificate of entitlement (which allows u to drive it for 10yrs only) and that piece of paper costs around S$30-S$40k.. So, u're looking at abt $$450k on the road in standard trim.

        I will never complain about he cost here again! Well, I might compare it to other places in the United States, but when you look below at these prices, it is a wonder that there are cars in any of those places.

        You have to remember there are people who are making 100s of millions of dollars a year in this and other countries.
